    int stringWidthLength = (int)
            graphics2DImage.getFontMetrics().getStringBounds(string, graphics2DImage).getWidth();
    int stringHeightLength = (int)
            graphics2DImage.getFontMetrics().getStringBounds(string, graphics2DImage).getHeight();

    int horizontalCenter = bgImage.getWidth() / 2 - stringWidthLength / 2;
    int verticalCenter = bgImage.getHeight() / 2 - stringHeightLength / 2;
    graphics2DImage.drawString(string, horizontalCenter, verticalCenter);
}

where, graphics2DImage is.

Graphics2D graphics2DImage = bgImage.createGraphics();
graphics2DImage.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
            RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);

    graphics2DImage.drawImage(bgImage, 0, 0, null);
